Or even 18-23 would be better.

Excuse me, wasn't the less stewarding thing, an arguement from critics of the move as the reason for it, i.e it's just Ashley trying to cut costs? And you are now using the likelyhood that it isn't going to cut stewarding costs as something to beat Ashley with? Fuck me, good luck Simon Esland.

"...signed a contract with a duration until the end of the season" doesn't scan properly. Get it fixed.

Actually, I haven't seen them before. Others, who actually thinks he will stay on the other hand. ....on the other hand, what? I'm getting pretty sick of this to be honest. I can't see that anyone 'thinks he will stay on' for certain, that would be as stupid as the likes of you and Colocho running around in circles shouting that he has already gone. It's idiotic to second guess what will happen, if the player wants to go, he'll go, if we get an absurd offer for him, he'll go, but until that happens under Ashley or anyone else, stop with the doom mongering and enjoy watching a team who are the most likable, exciting, and watchable team we have had for a fair few years. Indeed.

Looks loke I'm the only one giving Nolan some loving. Double figures already, but it's his role as club captain this season that gets him my vote. Absolutely awsome effort.

Bit more quoted from Cheik in the Mirror “At half-time it was a very angry dressing room. The manager was furious, shouting. He said this is not Newcastle United. “He said it was up to us to put it right, to give something back to the fans. We had to give them something, they spend a lot of money and time on supporting the team and we had let them down. He was very annoyed. “There were things thrown in there and we had let ourselves down. It was not a normal performance. He told us to wake up. Not much doubt he's giving the credit to the manager there. Nope, credit to Tiote for giving us a window on what happened too. Good stuff.

It did, but the club were fairly quick to say the story was rubbish iirc.

Pathetic comment tbh. Being fair, that was less than 10mins in. After this week I could not blame anyone giving up after seeing us the 1st ten minutes especially against a team like Arsenal. Well then fuck off and support Man City.

Another good and emotional post match interview on .co.uk. I'm all for the going for a bevvy plan too.

It's a simple no loss gamble (?) that we get a player till the end of the season, if he likes us and we like him, he has the power to hand in a transfer request and drop his wages. If he still thinks he can make it at Villa or match his current wages elsewhere, then fair enough - See ya. Can't see a problem, hope he helps us stay up.

I'm with this. Sheer blind unflinching bitter hatred is what's needed. No argument here. If only the players felt the same and put it into action. When we play Liverpool it'll all be backslapping and shirt swapping. Rather see one of our lads raking their studs down the back of his leg. Still pissed off none of our lot did so much as put a tackle in on De Jong. Tiote attacked him from distance last night. http://www.google.co.uk/url?source=imgres&ct=tbn&q=http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/res/536.%24plit/C_71_article_1406504_image_list_image_list_item_0_image.jpg%3F27%252F01%252F2011%252013%253A00%253A06%253A840&sa=X&ei=Ef1KTdzVCpOD4Qa2zoHzCw&ved=0CAUQ8wc4uQE&usg=AFQjCNFdnr5FKV6UefEc9vQD2RKPBmlsyw http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/tiote.jpg http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/images/stories/large/2011/02/03/108752309Soccer.jpg

Whey, logically, it can help both him and us. Clearly Jose is looking forward to some cracking signings for the toon in the summer.

To what end?

Would guess very few actually know about it tbf.

Just had a look on Wiki, playing player bingo I'm going to go for Yacine Brahimi!

My mum was in the Wrens, pretty damn sure it's not her mind.

thats mainly due to injury tbf. but still take the point. We have 7 out due to injury/suspension at least. Fulham have Dickson Etuhu doubtful. I fear for us, especially if we get any more forced substitutes.

They had already told him that he'd get a new contract in the summer ffs.

Probably because alot of people believe he going to put the money into ashley pocket And the quote contradicts that belief? I disagree. It's an embarrassing reminder of who they are that they feel the need to explain that it's going to be kept within the club. It's embarrassing that they feel the need to remind us because most run on emotion rather than taking 5 minutes to look at the books.

Smith: 65k a week. Campbell: 25k a week. Carroll: 30-35k a week. Xisco: 40k a week. Quite a bit of $$$$$ to save there Who's going to take on Smith? Even if they do, we may have to contribute to his wages until next summer anyway. Possibly not this summer, but I can see him moving into coaching sooner rather than later if he can't shake these injuries he keeps picking up. Instead of pocketing £60,000 a week. Yeah right. Whey, if he has to retire cause his legs are buggered he won't have much of a choice. I presume he'll be insured though. /not hoping for it for the lads sake, but looks like that may be the best outcome for us.

That big sums of money don't overwhelm someone like loadsamoney Ashley when it comes to someone trying to pry a player off us.

On an insane amount of money too.
